Details
Currently, you get a silent failure, leaving the application unable to start up until the extension is removed by hand. Test snippet: <em:targetApplication> <em:minVersion>0.1</em:minVersion> <em:maxVersion>0.1</em:maxVersion> </em:targetApplication>
Confirmed on Linux. Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040621 Firefox/0.9.0+ (daihard: P4/SSE2) The EM should throw some sort of error after loading the install.rdf file. Right now, the lack of error messages means that users of nightly builds must check install.rdf manually before installing the extension, or else risk getting the dreaded "Finishing Extensions Installation" dialog. blocking1.0?, please - this is a major irritant.

Also, could there either be a preferance in about:config or in the dialog box that pops up telling you it's not supported that gives you the option of ignoring the version number warning if you know that it will work and has just been packaged wrongly?
Is this a duplicate of Bug 247322?

If you're sufficiently expert to know that, you can just crack it open with unzip and fix the version number yourself, I think.
(In reply to comment #3) > Is this a duplicate of Bug 247322? Yes. They both describe the same condition. But this bug has a better summary.
The other bug is fixed now so I'll close this as a duplicate since they seem to be the same thing. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 247322 ***
